Eutelsat 21B & Star One C3 UN LANCEMENT POUR LES TELECOMMUNICATIONS Pour son sixième lancement Ariane 5 de l’année, Arianespace mettra en orbite deux satellites de télécommunications : Eutelsat 21B pour l’opérateur européen Eutelsat et Star One C3 pour le constructeur américain Orbital Sciences Corporation et l’opérateur brésilien Star One. Le choix d’Arianespace par de grands opérateurs et constructeurs du secteur des télécommunications spatiales illustre la reconnaissance internationale d’un service de lancement de qualité. Par sa fiabilité et sa disponibilité, Arianespace reste le système de lancement de référence mondiale. Aujourd’hui, Ariane 5 est le seul lanceur opérationnel disponible sur le marché commercial capable de lancer deux charges utiles simultanément. Arianespace et Eutelsat ont développé une coopération fructueuse ininterrompue depuis plus de 27 ans ; plus de la moitié de la flotte d’Eutelsat a été mise en orbite par le lanceur européen. Eutelsat 21B sera le 26ème satellite lancé par Arianespace pour l’opérateur Eutelsat. Construit par Thales Alenia Space à partir d’une plate-forme Spacebus 4000 C3, Eutelsat 21B aura une masse au décollage d’environ 5 000 kg. Equipé de 40 répéteurs opérationnels en bande Ku, Eutelsat 21B, depuis sa position orbitale à 21,5° Est, offrira des services de télécommunications et de réseaux de données pour les entreprises et les administrations gouvernementales en Europe, au Moyen-Orient, en Afrique du Nord et de l’Ouest et en Asie centrale. Eutelsat 21B aura une durée de vie opérationnelle supérieure à 15 ans. Star One C3 est le neuvième satellite brésilien confié au lanceur européen après les six satellites Brasilsat et les satellites Star One C1 et Star One C2. Star One est l’opérateur régional le plus important proposant des services par satellites en Amérique Latine. Construit par Orbital Sciences Corporation à Dulles (Virginie) et basé sur une plate- forme Star-2, Star One C3 aura une masse au décollage de 3 225 kg. Il sera positionné sur une orbite géostationnaire à 75 ou 84 degrés Ouest. Grâce à 28 répéteurs en bande C et 16 répéteurs en bande Ku, il sera optimisé pour fournir de la télévision directe, de la téléphonie et des communications interurbaines sur le Brésil et sur l’Amérique du Sud. 1 - La mission d’ARIANESPACE - Eutelsat 21B & Star One C3 2 - La campagne de préparation au lancement : Eutelsat 21B & Star One C3 3 - Étapes de la chronologie et du vol Eutelsat 21B & Star One C3 4 - Trajectoire du Vol Ariane 5 - Le lanceur ARIANE 5 6 - Le satellite Eutelsat 21B 7 - Le satellite Star One C3 Annexes 1.

La mission d’Arianespace Le 210e lancement d’Ariane doit permettre de placer sur orbite de transfert géostationnaire deux satellites de télécommunications : Eutelsat 21B pour l’opérateur européen Eutelsat et Star One C3 pour le constructeur américain Orbital Sciences Corporation et l’opérateur brésilien Star One. Ce sera le 66e lancement d’une Ariane 5. La performance demandée au lanceur pour ce vol est de 9 216 kg dont 8 250 kg représentent la masse des satellites Eutelsat 21B et Star One C3 à séparer sur l’orbite visée. Le lancement sera effectué depuis l’Ensemble de Lancement Ariane n°3 (ELA 3) à Kourou en Guyane française.

  • A Dual Launch for Brazil and the British Mod
    A dual launch for Brazil and the British MoD Arianespace will boost two satellites into orbit on its fifth launch of the year: the Skynet 5B military communications satellite for the British Ministry of Defence (MoD), through the Astrium company Paradigm and the Star One C1 commercial communications satellite for Brazilian operator Star One, as part of a turnkey contract with Thales Alenia Space. The latest Ariane launch clearly reflects the strategic importance of Arianespace, which guarantees independent access to space for European governments. Arianespace continues to set the global standard in launch services for all communications operators, whether civil or military. Skynet 5B will be launched on behalf of Astrium, which is delivering the satellite in orbit to Paradigm. Paradigm offers secure communications services for British armed forces, NATO and other countries that already use Skynet “milsatcom” satellites, including the Skynet 5A satellite launched by Ariane in March 2007. Built by Astrium, using a Eurostar E3000 platform Skynet 5B will weigh about 4,700 kg at launch. Ariane has already orbited Skynet 4B, 4C, 4E, 4F and 5A for the British MoD and NATO. Arianespace’s backlog of orders still includes one more MoD satellite, Skynet 5C. Skynet 5B is the European launcher’s 27th military payload. Star One C1 will be the seventh Brazilian satellite to use Ariane. Star One is the largest regional satellite service operator in Latin America. Arianespace has one more satellite to be launched for the Brazilian operator, Star One C2. The Star One C1 satellite was built by Thales Alenia Space using a Spacebus 3000/B3 platform.

It follows on from a series of 51 consecutive successful Ariane 5 launches. An ARIANE 5 ECA (Cryogenic Evolution type A), the most powerful version in the ARIANE 5 range, will be used for this flight. Flight 210 is a commercial mission for Ariane 5. The L566 launcher is the ninth in the A5ECA family to be delivered by ASTRIUM ST to Arianespace as part of the PB production batch. The PB production contract was signed in March 2009 to guarantee continuity of the launch service after completion of the PA batch comprising 30 launchers. The PB production batch comprises 35 A5ECA launchers and covers the period from 2010 to 2016. L566 is consequently the fortieth complete launcher to be delivered to Arianespace, integrated and checked out under ASTRIUM responsibility in the Launcher Integration Building (BIL). In a dual-payload configuration using the SYLDA 5 “A” system and a long pattern fairing (total height: 17 m), the launcher is the communications satellites EUTELSAT 21B in the upper position and STAR ONE C3 in the lower position.
